    Super cute hair...hmmm, I wonder if mine will do that and look good on me. My hair is straight and thick. Right now it's in a bob a little longer than this.

    Twins! What an excellent way to thumb your nose at the one child policy.

    I never thought about this before - but how does the 1-child policy relate to multiples? If it doesn't apply (and I don't see how it could) are there any regulations in China against fertility treatments that may result in multiples? Anyone from China who can answer?

    @Cellotape

    This came up when I tried to find info:
    [www.timesonline.co.uk]

    But the actual birth rate in China is closer to 2 children per couple than 1 because there are a lot of loopholes, exceptions and people who just go right ahead.

    @Katxyz: I think you can just like, ask for permission to have another child. My neighbors' families each had two kids (while living in the US, granted), but they always knew they'd relocate back to China, so evidently they'd gotten it "approved" or somesuch.

    Anecdotal hearsay = facts and stuff.

    @Cellotape: My understanding is that multiples are considered a blessing because they do not violate the family planning rules -- a "two for the price of one" kind of thing.

    @sequined: Whether it is really a "one child" rule very much depends on where in the country you live. In rural areas, the rule typically is that if you have a daughter, you can try again for a son, on the assumption that a son is needed both to help out on the farm and to care for the parents in their old age, which is the tradition in China. (As an aside, the current belief is that the girls in orphanages in China typically are second or later daughters from rural areas.)

    In cities, the one-child rule is more the norm. The rules are completely different or even inapplicable for ethnic minorities.

    For people living outside the country, the rules are much more relaxed, if they apply at all. However, for those living in the country, it's not a matter of just asking for permission to have an extra child. The fine for having a child beyond the applicable limit often exceeds a family's annual income and so it can be a ruinous choice for those who are not wealthy. In his book River Town , Peter Hesser tells of seeing a family's home knocked down by local family planning officials as punishment for violating the family planning rules.

    When I saw that VHudgens headline at the checkout I laughed and laughed and laughed. She has in a nude scandal (full nudity, people), and then 2 years later she is in another one (only the top but STILL).
    Naive??? LOL LOL LOL LOL.

    I will say...I actually really liked Bandslam and wish it had gotten more attention. Not groundbreaking, but a really sweet and fun teen movie.

    Alia is gorgeous and was fantastic in Whip It.

    I didn't realize Shawkat had such a cool heritage. A lot of people tell me I look like her, but only because we both have brown hair & eyes and freckles.

    I've actually always been OK with my freckles. No one has ever made fun of them - people say it's easier to remember me because I have them. Also, they're a gift from my dad and grandma. Freckles forever!!!
